C-26, r. 286.1 - Code of ethics of the members of the Ordre des travailleurs sociaux et des thérapeutes conjugaux et familiaux du Québec
Section 49
Disposition versions
49. Members must avoid any situation in which they would be in a conflict of interest. Members are in a conflict of interest if, in particular,
(1) the interests concerned are such that they might tend to favour certain interests over those of their client or that their judgment, objectivity, professional independence, integrity or loyalty towards their client might be adversely affected; or
(2) the circumstances offer them an undue advantage, either direct or indirect, real or potential.
If members practise within a partnership or joint-stock company, situations of conflict of interest are assessed with regard to all the clients of the partnership or joint-stock company.
When members practising within a partnership or joint-stock company are in a conflict of interest, the other members of the Order, to avoid also being in a conflict of interest, must take the necessary measures to ensure there is no disclosure of information or confidential documents relevant to the record.
